PEUGEOT SERVICING

Your vehicle benefits from extended service intervals.

• For petrol engines: every 20,000 miles (30 000 km) or every two years.

• For direct injection diesel engines: every 12,000 miles (20 000 km) or every two years.

The extension of the service intervals means that the engine oil must be checked regularly: topping up of the oilbetween two oil changes is normal.

It is for this reason, and for your complete peace of mind, that your Peugeot dealer will carry out a levels check andtop-up midway between two routine services, at the time or distance intervals specified.

This will be undertaken free of charge, provided that the maintenance of your vehicle has been carried out withinthe PEUGEOT network.

At the same time, your Peugeot dealer will offer you a Peugeot safety check, for a nominal fee.

A Peugeot professional will carry out a quick check, and will top up the levels if necessary (oil up to 1 litre, coolantand screen wash).

The date of the intermediate visit is not shown by the service indicator. It is to be carried out at least every 10,000miles ( 15 000 km) for petrol engines and every 6,000 miles (10 000 km) for direct injection diesel engines.

If the oil level is too low there is a risk of serious damage to the engine: check the engine oil level at least every2,000 miles (3 000 km) or 3,000 miles (5 000 km), depending on the conditions of use.

The extended service intervals have been made possible by technical modifications to the vehicles and lubricants: THUS IT IS ESSENTIALTO ONLY USE ENGINE LUBRICANTS WHICH ARE APPROVED AND RECOMMENDED BY THEMANUFACTURER

CHECKING THE LEVELS

Engine

Checking the oil level

Check the level regularly and top upbetween changes. Maximumconsumption is 0.5 litres per 600miles (1 000 km).

The oil level should be checked withthe vehicle level and the engine cold.

There are two marks onthe dipstick:

A = maximum

B = minimum

Oil change: according to the manu-facturer's servicing schedule.- Dipstick. Never fill past the maxi-

mum mark A .- Oil level gauge on the instrument

panel.

Viscosity selection

In all cases, the oil selected mustmeet the manufacturer's require-ments.

Oil filter

Change the filter regularly accordingto the servicing schedule.

Used oil

Prevent used oil from coming intoprolonged contact with the skin.

Do not dispose of used oil into drainsor onto the ground.

To maintain the reliability of enginesand emission control systems, theuse of additives in the engine oil isprohibited.

Brakes and clutch

Checking the brake and clutchfluid level:- The level should always be above

the DANGER mark on the reser-voir.

- If the level drops substantially,contact a PEUGEOT dealer imme-diately.

Fluid change- must be carried out according to

the manufacturer's servicing sche-dule.

- use fluids approved by the manu-facturer, which fulfil DOT 4 stan-dards.

Cooling system

Use the fluid approved by the manu-facturer.When the engine is warm, the tem-perature of the coolant is controlledby the engine fan. Because this fancan operate with the ignition keyremoved and because the coolingsystem is pressurised, wait for atleast one hour after the engine hasstopped before carrying out anywork.In the event of a breakdown and toavoid any risk of burns, slacken thecap to the first notch to release thepressure. When the pressure hasdropped, remove the cap and top upthe level.

Towing a trailer, caravan, boatetc.

Only use original PEUGEOT towbars that have been tested andapproved from the design stage ofyour vehicle. The tow bar must be fit-ted by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Your vehicle is basically designed fortransporting people and luggage but itmay also be used for towing a trailer.

Driving with a trailer subjects thetowing vehicle to more significantstress and its driver must be particu-larly careful.

Air density decreases with altitude,thus reducing engine performance.Above 1000 metres, the maximumtowing load must be reduced by 10%and so on for every 1000 metres ofaltitude.

Driving advice

Distribution of loads

Distribute the load in the trailer sothat the heaviest items are as closeas possible to the axle and the noseweight approaches the maximumpermitted without exceeding it.

Cooling

Towing a trailer on a slope increasesthe temperature of the coolant.

As the fan is electrically controlled,its cooling capacity is not dependenton the engine speed.

On the contrary, use a high gear tolower the engine speed, and reduceyour speed.

The maximum towing load on a longslope depends on the gradient andthe outside temperature.

In all cases, pay attention to thecoolant temperature.

If the warning light comes on, stopthe vehicle and switch off the engineas soon as possible.

Tyres Check the tyre pressures of the tow-ing vehicle and of the trailer, observ-ing the recommended pressures.

BrakingTowing increases the braking dis-tance.

LightsCheck the electrical signalling on thetrailer.

Side windTake into acount the increased sen-sitivity to side wind.

AUDIO SYSTEM (RM2)

Presentation

Your 406 Coupé is fitted with a JBL Audio Hi-Fi system, designed specifically for the vehicle's passenger compartment.

At the heart of the system, a 240 Watt multifunction amplifier (1), located in the boot, independently controls 10 highacoustic definition speakers.

These speakers make it possible to obtain optimum reproduction and distribution of the sound in the vehicle, in thefront and in the rear.

The speakers are located:- in the fascia: two Micro Tweeters (3) fitted in two Mediums (4) for clear and head-on reproduction of the sound, favour-

ing listening in the front.- in the front doors: two Woofers (5) for reproduction of the bass (low frequencies) in the front.- in the passenger pillars: two Tweeters (2) for reproduction of the treble (high frequencies) in the rear. - on the rear shelf: two Subwoofers (6) for reproduction of the extreme bass sounds (low and very low frequencies) through-

out the passenger compartment; you will appreciate the impact and depth, noticing that the sound fills the vehicleperfectly.

Adjustment in CD mode

The basic functions remain those of the audio equipment.

No additional adjustment is required. However, to benefit fully from yourJBL audio system, you are advised to adjust the AUDIO functions (BASS,TREB, FAD, BAL) to position " 0 " (zero) and the Loudness (LOUD) to the" ON " position.

CHILD SEATSAlthough one of PEUGEOT's main concerns when designing your vehicle, the safety of your children also depends on you.For maximum safety, please follow these precautions:- All children under the age of 10 must travel in a special approved child seat*, adapted to their weight, in a seat fitted with

a seat belt.- Front passenger seat*: children under the age of 10 must not travel in the forwards facing position**.

The rearwards facing position is permitted. In this position, it is compulsory to disarm the passenger air bag.After carrying out numerous tests, PEUGEOT recommends the following systems:

Up to 18 months (up to 13 kg)

" Britax Babysure": installed with its back to the engine in the front or in the rear using a three-point seat belt.In the front, the passenger seat must be in the 'mid-way' position on the slide.

From 9 months to 3 or 4 years (9 to 18 kg)

"Römer Prince": installed in the rear using a three-point seat belt. For the safety of your child, the seat and the restraining cushion must never be separated.

From 3 to 6 years (15 to 25 kg)

"Römer Vario'': installed in the rear with a three point seat belt.* According to current legislation in the country of destination.** Unless the rear seats are already occupied by other children or the rear seats cannot be used (because they are missing

Pull the strap, then insert the buckleinto the stalk.

Pre-tensioning and force-limitingfront seat belts

Safety in the event of a frontal impacthas been improved by the introduc-tion of pre-tensioning and force-limit-ing front seat belts. Depending onthe seriousness of the impact, thepre-tensioning system instantly tight-ens the seat belt firmly against thebody of the occupant.

The pre-tensioning seat belts areactive when the ignition is on.

The force-limiting device reduces thepressure of the seat belt against theoccupant's body in the event of anaccident.

Rear seat belts

The rear seats are fitted with twothree-point inertia reel belts.

YOUR 406 COUPE IN DETAIL98

To be effective, a seatbelt must be tightened asclose to the body as pos-sible.

THE ABS ANTI-LOCKBRAKINGSYSTEM

When used with approved tyres ingood condition, the ABS increasesthe stability and manoeuvrability ofyour vehicle, particularly on poor orslippery road surfaces.

The anti-lock braking system comesinto operation automatically whenthere is a risk of wheel lock.

EMERGENCY BRAKINGASSISTANCE SYSTEM

In an emergency, this systemenables the optimum braking pres-sure to be reached more quickly,thus reducing the stopping distance.It is triggered according to the speedof activation of the brake pedal. Theeffect of this is a reduction in theresistance of the pedal and anincrease in braking efficiency.

The normal operation of the ABSmay make itself felt by slightvibrations of the brake pedal.

In emergency braking, pressvery firmly without releasingthe pressure.

Disarming the ESP / ASR systems

In certain conditions (vehicle stuck inmud or snow, or on loose ground...),it could prove useful to disarm theASR system to make the wheelsspin and regain grip.

☞ Press the switch "ESP OFF", sit-uated to the left of the steeringwheel.

The switch lights up and the indicatorlights come on, accompanied by themessage ''ASR/ESP de-activated''on the multi-function display: theESP and ASR systems no longeraffect the operation of the engine orthe brakes.

They engage again:

☞ automatically when the ignition isswitched off,

☞ manually by pressing the switchagain.

The ESP system offersincreased safety duringnormal driving, but shouldnot incite the driver to take

risks or to drive at high speed.The operation of the system isassured to the extent to which therecommendations of the manufac-turer regarding the wheels (tyresand wheel rims), the braking com-ponents, the electronic compo-nents and the assembly andrepair procedures within thePEUGEOT network are respect-ed.After an accident or impact, havethe system checked by aPEUGEOT dealer.

Operating check

When a system malfunctionoccurs, the switch lightflashes and the indicatorlight comes on. Contact aPEUGEOT dealer to check

the system.

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)AND DYNAMIC STABILITYCONTROL (ESP)

These systems are linked and com-plement the ABS system.

The ASR system optimises drive toprevent the wheels skidding, by act-ing on the brakes of the drive wheelsand on the engine. It also allows thedirectional stability of the vehicle tobe improved on acceleration. If thereis a variation between the trajectoryfollowed by the vehicle and thatrequired by the driver, the ESP sys-tem automatically acts on the engineand the brake of one or morewheels, in order to put the vehicleback on course.

Operation of the ASR and ESPsystems

When one of these two sys-tems is operating, this lightflashes.

AIR BAGS

The air bags have been designed tomaximise the safety of the occupantsin the event of serious collisions.They work in conjunction with theforce-limiting seat belts.

The electronic detectors register andanalyse any abrupt deceleration ofthe vehicle: if the triggering thresholdis reached, the air bags inflateinstantly and protect the occupantsof the vehicle.

Immediately after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly so that they donot hinder the visibility of the occu-pants nor their exit if necessary fromthe vehicle.

The air bags are not deployed in thecase of collisions which are not seri-ous, for which the seat belt is suffi-cient to ensure maximum protection.The seriousness of a collisiondepends on the nature of the obsta-cle and the speed of the vehicle atthe moment of the collision.

Air bags only operate when theignition is switched on.

Note: the gas escaping from the airbags can be a minor irritant.

FRONT AIR BAGS

These are folded in the centre of thesteering wheel for the driver and inthe fascia for the front passenger.They are deployed simultaneously,except in cases where the passen-ger air bag is disarmed.

Front air bag fault

If this warning light comeson, accompanied by anaudible signal and the mes-

sage "Air bag fault" on themulti–function display, contact aPEUGEOT dealer to have the sys-tem checked.

Passenger air bag precautions

For a vehicle fitted with a passengerair bag disarming switch:

- disarm the airbag if you installa rear-facingchild seat on thefront passengerseat,

- arm the air bagfor an adult pas-senger.

For a vehicle not fitted with a pas-senger air bag disarming switch:

- do not install a rear-fac-ing child seat on thefront passenger seat.

Never place your feet or any objecton the fascia.

For the front and side air bags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:

• Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.• Sit in a normal upright position (passengers must not place their feet on the fascia).• Do not leave anything between the occupants of the front seats and the air bags.

This could hamper the operation of the air bags or injure the occupants.• All work on the air bag system is strictly forbidden unless it is carried out by qualified personnel of the PEUGEOT net-

work.• After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken into, have the air bag systems checked.• The air bag systems have been designed to be fully operational for 10 years after the vehicle has been registered. Have

them replaced by a PEUGEOT dealer after this period.

Front air bags• Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre part of the wheel.• Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.• Smoke as little as possible; deployment of the air bags can cause burns or the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.

Side air bags• Do not fix or glue anything to the front seat backs. This could cause injury to the chest or arms when the side air bag

inflates. • Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary. • Never put covers on the front seats. Contact your PEUGEOT dealer.
